Chapter 14
Frank
For about eight hours, Frank and everyone else worked super hard trying to fill the ship with supplies. The ship used gold, bronze, and silver as fuel, and everyone was glad the Hazel was with them.
At about four o'clock, Percy told everyone that he had a surprise. They followed him to the Fields of Mars, where Frank was not very surprised to see Ella flying around and Tyson trying to catch her, which wasn't really working.
"This is Ella," said Percy, gesturing to the red harpy.
Ella flew over. "Ella. Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. Published in 1997. Movie made in 2004. 2004, bad year for weather. Hurricane Ivan and Hurricane Jeanne. Ella doesn't like bad weather. Or snakes. Or cheese. Nope, Ella doesn't like cheese. Ella wants a cinnamon roll!"
Annabeth blinked as Ella flew away back over to Tyson.
"Is she always like that?"
"Yeah," said Hazel.
"She's like a moving Wikipedia," said Annabeth in awe.
"She is very shy though, so don't scare her."
"I won't," Annabeth promised. "I am good with people. She won't be scared. Trust me."
She walked over to Ella and said, "Hi. I know you are very smart, and that you know prophecies. But I want to know how smart you are exactly. So, who was the 22nd president? Who directed Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince? Exactly how many chopsticks does the average person in China use per day? What are Chlorofluorocarbons?" She was almost yelling by the time she had finished.
For once, Ella was speechless. Then, she let out an ear piercing screech and flew into the woods at about 100 mp/h.
"No! Ella!" bellowed Tyson, running away to the woods.
"Oh no," said Annabeth. "I had been so sure that I wasn't going to scare her. It is all my fault. It's just so odd…" She snapped her fingers. "It's was the mark. I'm sure of it! I had been so full of pride, believing that she wouldn't be scared. And now…" She didn't continue.
"Look, Annabeth," Percy had started, but then Frank heard a neigh. Then, out of nowhere, Arion appeared, and neighed again.
"Gods, you are such a potty mouth!" Percy said. "Go tell Tyson!"
Arion galloped away at the speed of light.
"Who was that?" asked Leo.
"Arion," said Hazel. "My horse. What did he say?"
"Some bad language. He called me some extremely rude names. But he really wanted to inform us that he spotted Ella."
"That's good," said Frank, sighing with relief.
Frank reassured everyone that Tyson would be able to find her, and they all went to dinner.
No one talked much. Most people stared at the seven like they were pigs ready for slaughter. When everyone had finished, Reyna stood before everyone.
"We would like to wish you all luck on this quest. You will be leaving in precisely two hours. You all may pack now. I will see everyone before you depart."
When she sat back down, Hylla stood up. "Good luck," she said, smiling at them all until her eyes fell on Annabeth. She frowned and the turned and walked away.
Frank walked with Hazel and Percy back to the Fifth Cohort. He packed a small bag containing two pairs of jeans, three T-shirts, and a picture of him and his mom. Seeing her happy made him smile.
Hazel walked inside and up to Frank.
"I just wanted to let you know that I have your piece of wood in my bag. Do you want it?"
"No, I trust you more that I trust myself."
She nodded and walked away.
Percy came over next.
"You ready, man?"
Frank sighed. "Not really. You?"
"Not at all."
"That is just great. Where are we going anyway?"
"Well," said Percy. "Rome. But we have to make a few pit stops. We are going to Costa Rica. Leo says we have to because even though it is out of our way, he wants to try to get a lady friend there. We will stop in Bermuda, too. And Casablanca, in Morocco, and Barcelona, in Spain."
"Well, I suppose if we are sailing to our deaths, we have to make it fun!"
"I suppose so," Percy agreed.
